LAS VEGAS – When Cuba’s Richar Abril (17-3-1, 8 KO’s), of Miami, Fla., steps into the ring to face undefeated Ugandan Sharif “The Lion” Bogere (23-0, 15 KO’s), of Las Vegas, this Saturday, March 2 in the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING – Special Edition live on SHOWTIME® (10 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) from The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, he will be making the first defense of his WBA Lightweight World Championship.

This thread is about Abril-Borgere, I don't know what Russell and Khan have to do with it... War Abril!!

Yeah, Richie has gotten a couple of raw deals in his career. He needs to build up with a few good wins. I'm happy the organization at least recognized he got robbed blind versus Rios and did something to take the sting out of it.
